Attic access is in my garage ceiling. Is the stationary part strong enough to hold the weight of a person if used to access the attic as a ladder?

It probably is, but I wouldn't recommend it. I anchored mine is a ceiling joist, so it wouldn't pull the bracket out, but the weight of a person might bend the bracket.

The stationary bracket for the ladder is not designed or strong enough to support the weight of a person.

It depends on the size of the ladder and type but adding the stabilizer does make it a little top heavy but nothing to be too concerned about. I have a 32 foot aluminum ext ladder that is a challenge to manage (by one person) without the stabilizer but I manage to move it with the stabilizer without any problems.

sorry no not safe check weight of the ladders you use hope this helps by the way platform is great very well made

I don't know what weight it is rated for, but it is very solid. I weigh 175 lbs, and I regularly do kipping pull-ups, butterfly pull-ups, and weighted pull-ups with 120 lbs of extra weight. I worry more about my ceiling joists holding up than the bar bending or breaking.

Absolutely! In fact, I have it in my garage holding up a heavy plastic storage container (rectangular, but not too long), so that I can easily swing it out of the way when I need to get to something else. It is light, but sturdy. Very handy for moving things around-- including cardboard boxes, etc. I also have one for a huge planter on my back patio. Very very good!

I'm using one with a 32' extension ladder.It holds it fine,but I also secured the ladder to my floor trusses,on the pulley end,with an endless rachet strap.

I'm not sure if it lists it anywhere. But, looking at it, the strapping used between the ladder treads looks heavy duty. And the way it goes over the window sill, the heavier the person the less likely the hooks are to move. So, while we never tested it, it looks like it could hold at least a 170 pound man.

Definitely! We got this for our 9 year old's room and it is great. While our house was being built we put some wood bracing between the joists in her ceiling so that we could hang it into something sturdy. Then we got an eye hook and spring that swivels and it works really well. As long as you screw it into one of the joists or place another piece of wood in your ceiling it will hold a lot of weight. My husband and I both sit in it with 2 or 3 kids in our lap. It's way comfy!

If you attach it to the slide I think it would be stable. It was a good ladder but I returned it because it wasn't stable enough for our use.

I have this setup in my garage. I put placed the heavier items on the bottom for a little more sturdiness. It's works well so far. If your kids want to move bad enough, they will. You know how that goes. It's definitely not strong enough to climb on, but it's not that flimsy really. It's a great cheaper storage option. Hope that helps.

You can probably rig it to attach to an overhead bar, but it's meant to be closed in a door, so it might now hold your weight as well if you rig it.

As much as I adore this ladder and it has been an exceptional tool for self projects, because it is free standing and not affixed for safety reasons I would not attempt to use it to enter and exit an attic area.

Depending on how high it is hanging and how tall of a person you are, yes you would need a ladder. So far I just use my remote that came with it. Cathy

yes, it's heavy duty. don't know how much you weigh but jumping on it upstairs repeatedly might not be good for the structural integrity of your house.

It would lift the weight but the hoist would have to be positioned over the hanging spot or have a pully over the hanging spot and the hoist attached to the floor.

without seeing the details of your application i can not say for sure. the x-it ladder has a grapple type steel hook that will secure to most edge conditions.

I have two hooked up in my garage. One I use for rope climbing and the other has my heavy bag hanging from it. They both have been great so far. I don't think you will have any problems.
